Something Blue, part 2
I do not own Buffy the Vampire Slayer or Sailormoon. Please don't sue me.
Just as our stunned little princess was getting the door politely closed in her face, Another woman was calmly and cooly panicking. With lots of curses and yelling. (Authors Note: Pluto just seems to be the type that could be both calm and enraged at the same time, doesn't she.)
"What the hell is going on here!?" Pluto, the normally collected and all-knowing senshi of time, was very upset. She'd been watching her princess through a huge mirror-like portal when suddenly, the princess makes a wish and poof! the scene fades to black, cheesy elevator music floods the time gates, and the words "due to godly difficulties, the viewing portals are non-operational." flashed across the dark liquid-like surface of the scrying mirror.
That was about a week ago. The poor senshi had been trying to get the gates to work ever since, though mostly by cursing at it. She tried to leave the gates soon after the incident, only to find that not only can she not view the timestreams, she'd been locked into the eternally misty , music-filled place she hated to call home.
"Alright, Puu. Just calm down. Perhaps if I call the timestreams one at a time again. It almost worked last time." She quietly reached within herself to were she knew the power was and then reached into the infinite. She stretched to the utmost...* Come on, Come on... * Nothing. Another round of cursing began.
*Things just can't get any worse.* Pluto fumed. Unfortunately, she'd jinxed herself and as always, things did get worse.
"Hello daughter."
**************************************************************************** ***********
The little winged woman stared at the closed door in astonishment. *I understood her. I understood her!* The 'angel' pondered knocking on the door to talk with the red head but a sound down the hall reminded her of the funny man who she now knew was called Giles. She looked at Giles, who was currently attempting to not fall down the stairs, glanced at the dorm room door once more, and chased after the watcher as well as she could with an armful of clothes. To her credit she only tripped once, though she dropped the clothes three times. Some items would never recover.
"Oh, I'm sorry, little one! I don't know what I was thinking. It would have been horrible to lose you, especially on a campus full of hormonal not-so-teenagers!" The angel watched Giles as he spoke, still marveling at the miracle that allowed her to understand him. She pondered on this stunning new situation as she half-followed, half-led the slowly going blind man to the car.
"By the powers, I just don't know what's wrong with my vision. It was perfectly fine this morning!" Giles sat heavily down onto the car seat. He carefully started the car and began a painfully slow drive back to his abode. "Perhaps Willow, ( *the red head?* the angel asked herself. The name seemed to fit the pure hearted girl ) was right. We can't keep calling you angel or winged one. I wish you could tell me your name. Hell, I wish you could tell me anything about yourself!" He once again began his new favorite rant.
If he'd been paying attention (a hard thing to do when the road is suddenly blurry) he would have seen the angel open her mouth to spew forth questions (mostly stuff like, who am I, where are we, and who are you?) before stopping herself once she began to hear his 'favorite rant' * Well, darn, they don't know anything about me either! What do I do now? These people seem very nice, and they let me stay with them. But look what they did to the savior! But then again, the savior drinks blood. That can't be good! I'm so confused.* The angel pouted as she thought on her dilemma before reaching a decision.
* I won't say anything right now, I'll just wait and see what these people are really about. It shouldn't be that hard, especially now that I know their langauge! If they turn out to be like the vile kidnappers I first met, I'll run away.* With that thought firmly in mind, she just watched and listened as Giles ranted and almost killed them several times.
A couple of hours later the newly clothed winged girl was still keeping a watchful eye and ear on the stumbling Giles, as he walked around Spike, attempting to read from a book. She stood close to her savior, who was still chained but now was sitting on the floor with a resigned expression. The girl would have tried to free him if she'd know he was being moved, but unfortunately the lure of trying on her new clothes was too great. Afterwards, she'd ran around the house before noticing him and the watcher in the living room (she passed by them in her panic three times; a fact which barely phased Giles, but threw the vampire briefly into a fit of laughter) after not seeing the bloodsucking demon in his usual place in the tub. Oh well, at least she had a cute outfit on, she'd consoled herself. (It was a pink tank top and a purple and sea-green patterned skirt. Part of her had marveled at wearing such clothes, while another part had whispered very quietly that she'd worn such clothes before.)
*I wish I could help him. What is Giles doing anyway? A truth spell? Who are these people?*
"Elobe,... enemy... be now... quiet." Giles read haltingly as he held a handful of burning herbs.
Spike watched the watcher with trepidation. What if the man ruined the spell? It was obvious that he was having trouble reading the words. "You know... not to keen about this spell stuff. Tends to be a bit unpredictable. Especially when bungled."
Giles looked up with a sigh. "Yes, well, you might have thought about that sooner. If you had just told us what you knew, you wouldn't be in this situation." He smirks a little at the impotent vampire, before trying to continue. "Um...let your decietful tongue be... (Giles squints) be..uh...let no... untruths..be spoken."
Giles grunts and sets the book down in utter frustration. *Damn, I can't make out the damn words!* He sighed and once again tried to clean his already clean glasses. The silver-haired girl looked at him with concern. Despite her mistrust of these people she didn't wish them ill. She began to look around to see if there was anything she could do to help him when suddenly she noticed something by the watchers feet. *It's the key to those chains.* Obviously the incident the day before had made an impression on her. She glanced quickly at her savior and saw that he had already seen it.
Spike had indeed already seen the 'keeeey'. *Bloody Hell! If I could get it nearer to me...* He quietly but franticly began to try and get the key closer with his boot. *Damn, just a little bit closer and I'd have it!* Oh, the key was so close! Only about an inch away from his boot heel.
Deducing the problem, the angel got down on her hands and knees and sneaked closer to the freedom producing item. Meanwhile, the seeing-challenged watcher had picked up the book and once again was trying read the spell. If he'd been able to see more than a blur past the book he was failing to read he would have seen the angel grab the key and examine the chains surrounding Spike. *Hm...this must fit somewhere, but where?* she thought to herself.
*Damn the angel doesn't know where the lock is. I'll have to distract the watcher.* Spike thought.
"What's up with your eyes?" the vampire began to nod his head in the direction of the lock.
"Hm? Oh nothing, I just got ash in them."
"Well, I don't want you doing mojo on me if you can't read properly. You might turn me into a stink beetle or something."
*Aha* Spike and the blue eyed angel thought together as she found the lock.
"T'would be a generous ending for you, Spike." Giles said, still trying to puzzle out the next word. *is that abjure or unjust?*
"That's your opinion, Watcher. Mine is that I should leave before any such thing happens!" Spike sneered triumphantly, as the winged girl undid the lock and began to help him out of the chains. The vampire quickly ran for the door, barreling over poor Giles as he went.
"Thanks ducks!" And with that he was out the door.
The angel looked towards where Spike had fled and then looked at the watcher. *Oh well, hopefully the poor blind man won't be mad me for freeing his prisoner.* With that thought and a sigh she went and helped the Watcher over to the couch.
A little over thirty minutes later she was still trying to help the watcher. This time she was making sure he didn't lose his balance in the bathroom, as he was trying to put something in his eye from a little dropper. (Author's note: eye drops. just in case my description was a little bit too vague. In my fic, when Usagi gets amnesia, she really gets hard-core amnesia. Mostly because she's lived two lives with very different technologies). She turned as she heard the loud girl and her savior come banging in the front door, yelling at each other. Deciding that Giles would be okay for the moment, she left the watcher to his hopeless belief in over-the-counter modern medicine. As she walked down towards the fighting pair she couldn't help but think that Spike was a lot of trouble.
*Really, I set him free just for him to be recaptured? Honestly, a girl would think he be able to manage for himself! I probally should have gone with him to make sure he didn't mess up. But then who would have helped Giles? Also, the saviors name is Spike. A person with that name should be able to take care of themselves. * The winged girl walked into the living room and sighed at the sight that greeted her. She'd noticed that she tended to do that alot but really, these people where exasperating!
Meanwhile Buffy has slammed a furious Spike down into the chair. "Watch it slayer! When I get this spell reversed, they'll be finding your body parts for weeks!"
"Oh make a move--please. I'm dying for a good slay." The two where glaring at one another when suddenly the universe (and Willow) decided something else would be funnier.
Giles left the bathroom and made his way to the living room. "If you to could remain civil long enough to...." Flabbergasted the Watcher could only wish that his vision were even worse as he blurrily took in the sight before him. He quickly closed his eyes against the coming migraine. Unfortunately he couldn't close his ears.
"It's just so sudden. I don't know what to say!" came an excited squeal from Buffy.
"Just say yes, and make me the happiest man on earth." At these words, Giles slowly reopened his eyes to the surreal picture before them. There sitting in a chair was his slayer, saying yes to a marriage proposal made by one of their deadliest ( if now impotent, so to speak) vampire foes. What was worse was that she was squealing about it! The confused Watcher looked over to the other viewer of this impossible scene who just looked back at him and shrugged, obviously as confused as he was.
*I've thought it before and I'll probally think it again. These people are just plain weird.* The confused winged girl thought to her self. Quite frankly she had no better clue than Giles about what was occurring and she'd witnessed the whole thing. One minute the two mortal enemies where glaring, the next Spike was proposing! Somehow, the angel knew not to just right this off as a creepy and disturbingly passionate moment of formerly undeclared love springing to the light. A moment made even creepier as two people that she'd seen do nothing but fight and glare with absolute hatred, began to kiss.
* Something extremely odd is going on here. This has to tie into Giles going blind, and my being able to understand their language. I know it does! It's the only explanation that makes sense. But how? Giles began losing his vision when we were at the red heads. And she was the first person that I understood when she spoke! But that girl, Willow, seems so nice. Why would she blind Giles and then tie her best friend to a person said best friend hates?* The silver-haired woman looked at the excited couple as they began planning their wedding. *That does it! For my own piece of mind (she quickly glanced at the still bewildered Giles) and for his sanity I'm going to go see what this is all about.*
And so, sure in the knowledge that she could make her way to Willow's dorm room unattended, the intrepid winged woman set out, not even getting a glance from the others as she left, borrowed duster in hand.
A little while later, a crash in the bushes outside Stevenson Hall, Willow and Buffy's dorm, signified her arrival. She'd been running towards the College when it hit her, *I have wings! I can just fly there.* Lucky her, it wasn't a full moon or anything and most people just wrote the huge flying creature off as either a very small airplane or really big bird.
"Ow ow ow ow ow! That hurt!" Restraining the tears and sobs that threatened to erupt, she quickly threw back on the duster, which she'd carried throughout the short flight, and ran towards where she remembered Willow's dorm room to be.
She entered the building and quickly took the stairs. As she flew (Author's note: not literally, she's just running very fast. With a winged Usagi you have to make that clear. Though wouldn't it be cool if she had been. This just in! College students about to innocently go to their next kegger were dived bombed by winged woman at local campus. More on that story at five o'clock !) down the hallway, she saw Willow just ahead. At the speed she was going, she and the red head went into the dorm room at almost the same time. Which turned out to bad break as both were subsequentionally kidnapped by big scary demons.
Meanwhile, Spike, his slayer bethrothed, a Willow-caused demon magnet (Xander) and his former demon girlfriend, were quickly on their way to the same dorm room. They, not being as quick on the uptake as our petite not- angel, had only just figured it out.
Giles, now being completely blind, was left behind, to his great relief. (He's sitting on his couch drinking heavily and shuddering at the memories of blurry images and sounds of his slayer and Spike.) *Oh, gods please don't make me walk Buffy down the aisle in that wedding, to hand her off to that demon. If I do, then I'll be forced to kill Willow for putting me through that, and really she is such a sweet child.*
"Life, as they say, sucks."
Next time: What's wrong with the time gates? Where did the scary demons take Willow and Usagi? Will Usagi and the scooby gang ever find out about her past?
**************************************************************************** *******************
WHOAH! That took me a while, huh. I'm awfully sorry. As I stated in my authors page, I've been going through a really rough patch in my life. Also, season seven just hasn't been catching my interest. But, don't worry, I'm back on track and ready to go! Anyway, I'm sure some or most of you noticed that yet again I'm not finished with the episode Something Blue. I think for the rest of the story I'm just going to take as many chapters I feel the episode needs instead of trying to do an episode a chapter like I originally planned. However, Something Blue will be finished next chapter. If anyone gets a chance I highly recommend reading the transcripts to this episode. At some parts I laughed just as hard as I did when I viewed it on tv. Reading the transcripts really was what made me start writing again. For those of you who do, you'll see I kept alot of the original dialogue, (for what dialogue there was in this chapter!)only adding to it.
Review please. Though I won't get mad and withhold chapters to get them. I'm just not sure whether or not this chapter is up to par so to speak. Criticism is welcome, but please don't just say I suck and not have a reason as to how or why I suck. Anyway, I rewrote and scrapped and rewrote and scrapped, etc., so this chapter, to me anyway, isn't that great. I'm kinda thinking that this chapter came out as a kinda filler chapter between the last one and the next. I'm not even sure whether or not everything is spelled correctly. I don't have Microsoft word and am being forced to write this all on Wordpad.
To clear up some other stuff about the story. I keep referring to Usagi without using her name, a story device that to some, may seem stupid since we all know who she is. However, for this story she will most likely be called something else and later on I don't want to have to deal with the confusion of two names. Her past is at this point mostly erased so when she gets named that is her name. Speaking of which, I've got a few ideas on names but suggestions are extremely welcome. Also, I keep referring to her as petite, little, so on and so forth. This is only relative to the other charactors at this time. She's about 5'0 ft., which isn't really that short. I mean, I'm only 5'2 and I get by. And finally, I said this before up above, but the reason Usagi doesn't really know things like eye drops, keys, showers and such is because she's lived two lives and in subconcious memory is calling upon the technology of her life as a princess, which in this story is the form she has taken (also explaining the wings and silver hair). I'm guessing they had better technology than eyedrops, had bathing rooms full of pools instead of showers, and had not only palace guards (why need locks and such?) but wielded the most powerful object in the universe. I mean would you really think anyone was going to be stupid enough to attack you? Which personally is to my way of thinking the reason why Beryl got as far as she did. Anyway, I knew that some of you would wonder.
Also, let me once again remind everyone that what is going on in the chapters is not everything that is going on in the actual episode. So to some of you unfamiliar with BTVS, Buffy's season four, or the episode, there are probally huge plot holes. Don't worry, later on I plan to gravitate a bit from the actual episodes and Usagi and gang have a plot of their own outside of canon. Otherwise, the BuffyGuide is still a great place to find out what in the plot your missing.
Above all thanks go out to all those who reviewed previously. Seeing that I'd gotten reviews sometimes months after I'd written the last chapter really made me happy. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Wow, this is probally one of the longest Authors notes ever written!
I do not own Buffy the Vampire Slayer or Sailormoon. Please don't sue me.

"What the hell is going on here!?" Pluto, the normally collected and all-knowing senshi of time, was very upset. She'd been watching her princess through a huge mirror-like portal when suddenly, the princess makes a wish and poof! the scene fades to black, cheesy elevator music floods the time gates, and the words "due to godly difficulties, the viewing portals are non-operational." flashed across the dark liquid-like surface of the scrying mirror.
That was about a week ago. The poor senshi had been trying to get the gates to work ever since, though mostly by cursing at it. She tried to leave the gates soon after the incident, only to find that not only can she not view the timestreams, she'd been locked into the eternally misty , music-filled place she hated to call home.

She quietly reached within herself to were she knew the power was and then reached into the infinite. She stretched to the utmost...* Come on, Come on... * Nothing. Another round of cursing began.

Anyway, I rewrote and scrapped and rewrote and scrapped, etc., so this chapter, to me anyway, isn't that great. I'm kinda thinking that this chapter came out as a kinda filler chapter between the last one and the next. I'm not even sure whether or not everything is spelled correctly. I don't have Microsoft word and am being forced to write this all on Wordpad.
To clear up some other stuff about the story. I keep referring to Usagi without using her name, a story device that to some, may seem stupid since we all know who she is. However, for this story she will most likely be called something else and later on I don't want to have to deal with the confusion of two names. Her past is at this point mostly erased so when she gets named that is her name. Speaking of which, I've got a few ideas on names but suggestions are extremely welcome. Also, I keep referring to her as petite, little, so on and so forth. This is only relative to the other charactors at this time. She's about 5'0 ft., which isn't really that short. I mean, I'm only 5'2 and I get by. And finally, I said this before up above, but the reason Usagi doesn't really know things like eye drops, keys, showers and such is because she's lived two lives and in subconcious memory is calling upon the technology of her life as a princess, which in this story is the form she has taken (also explaining the wings and silver hair). I'm guessing they had better technology than eyedrops, had bathing rooms full of pools instead of showers, and had not only palace guards (why need locks and such?) but wielded the most powerful object in the universe. I mean would you really think anyone was going to be stupid enough to attack you? Which personally is to my way of thinking the reason why Beryl got as far as she did. Anyway, I knew that some of you would wonder.
Also, let me once again remind everyone that what is going on in the chapters is not everything that is going on in the actual episode. So to some of you unfamiliar with BTVS, Buffy's season four, or the episode, there are probally huge plot holes. Don't worry, later on I plan to gravitate a bit from the actual episodes and Usagi and gang have a plot of their own outside of canon. Otherwise, the BuffyGuide is still a great place to find out what in the plot your missing.
Above all thanks go out to all those who reviewed previously. Seeing that I'd gotten reviews sometimes months after I'd written the last chapter really made me happy. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Wow, this is probally one of the longest Authors notes ever written!
